Principal's Message

We are delighted to welcome everyone back as we extend a warm greeting to our new students joining the AES community!

As a Catholic mission school, we hold firmly to the belief that character development lies at the heart of education. Drawing inspiration from our founding figure, St. Louis Marie de Montfort, we are called to serve others with purpose. Our CHRIST values—Compassion, Humility, Respect, Integrity, Sense of Responsibility, and Trust—guide our students as they grow stronger and learn to lead lives that honour both personal achievement and the wellbeing of others. We strive to help each student discover their unique gifts and work together towards the greater good.

This year's theme, "Stronger Together – Called to Learn, Lead and Love," captures what makes secondary school education such a memorable and enriching phase of life.

Called to Learn
Every student possesses the capacity to learn and excel in their studies. With curiosity and purposeful effort, learning becomes both enjoyable and deeply rewarding.

We are therefore committed to preparing every student for the future through our forward-looking curriculum in a technology-enhanced environment. Students build confidence through our SPEAK Applied Learning Programme, where they are given opportunities to present across various platforms. Our curriculum is thoughtfully designed to develop 21st Century Skills and Competencies.

Called to Lead
Every student has the opportunity to make daily choices that bring about positive differences in others' lives.

Embracing Montfort's spirit, we nurture adaptable leaders who genuinely desire to serve and create meaningful impact. The AES Dinan Leadership Programme provides students with opportunities to develop their leadership capabilities through service learning.

Students also build international friendships through our annual Asian Young Leaders for Human Fraternity (AYLHF) programme.  Students from Japan, Korea, Thailand and Indonesia come together every year to celebrate cultural diversity and explore how we can work towards a better world for all.

Called to Love
Above all, God calls us to love.

The Montfort Stories accompany each cohort throughout their AES journey, inspiring them to develop a heart for the Last, the Lost, and the Least. Through these experiences, students have opportunities to serve and draw closer to the purposes God has called them to in life.

Stronger Together
"And though one might prevail against another, two will withstand one. A threefold cord is not quickly broken." - Ecclesiastes 4:12

Indeed, AssumptionKnights embrace the mission of caring for and supporting one another throughout their secondary school years.

It is through the love and unwavering support of our stakeholders and parents that the school continues to flourish, growing from strength to strength as a school of choice in the West.

All glory be to God!
